Inauguration Day

Inauguration Tuesday was very historic no matter how far back you were. Our group was about halfway between the National Monument and the Capitol. We watched the whole thing on a Jumbotron screen. One of the coolest things to see was when the former presidents back to Jimmy Carter came and sat down. I didn't know Carter was still alive. 

The actual swearing in was short. I almost missed Joe Biden's, and Obama forgot the words on his. No matter though, the crowd was screaming none the less. Another thing I found out was that the Supreme Court Justice did the swearing in. I also thought that his speech was pretty good and inspirational. The crowd cheered through the whole thing. Even if you weren't an Obama fan, the day was very historic, and I was glad to be a part of it. 

Too bad Martin Luther King couldn't be a part of it.
